I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
183 Two-Knife Cliff Six
After speaking, he glanced around at the other people.
Just then, a white cloud obscured the bright moon. The sky suddenly became even more obscured.
Slowly, slowly, footsteps began to sound. Groups of people emerged from the woods.
They quickly split into several groups, the blood on their knives still wet. Some people had blood on their clothes, and some had wounds.
These people had cold, stern faces, icy eyes, and hearts as hard as iron. They killed people like chickens.
A team of five hundred men, fully armored, with well-equipped with swords and spears, their spears gleaming coldly at the tips, formed a disciplined and well-trained unit.
The other two groups managed to separate into two lines. The positions were chaotic, and a rough estimate puts them at four or five hundred people.
These people, some with fierce eyes, others with sinister ones, were all dressed primarily in black. They carried machetes, sharp longswords, or even tridents.
Some were still stuffing something into their arms, their faces beaming with undisguised joy; it seemed they had just received quite a few good things.
Gao Jinming's eyes lit up, and his face broke into a wide smile. Despite the pain all over his body, he shouted loudly.
"Help! Father, it's your son! Please save me! Father, it hurts so much! Please save me!" The voice cried out for its father and mother.
It was truly heartbreaking to hear, enough to bring tears to one's eyes. It was as if they had suffered some immense injustice, a grievance that even the waters of the three rivers and five seas could not wash away. Tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Magistrate Gao's heart was bleeding. His own son! He didn't know what sins he had committed. This was his only son tonight. He truly cherished him dearly.
He was allowed to live a dissolute life most of the time, but he was always closely protected. She had always hoped he would have a child, a grandson. But alas, the boy still had none.
Who knows how many people he's harmed? Famous courtesans, maids, respectable women—this kid thinks he's the one who did it all. His father, however, has no idea.
How could he not know? He was just thinking about having a grandson as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Gao family line would end. He had married several wives, but he just couldn't have a healthy son.
Looking at her only son, crippled, her heart bled. But as long as he didn't die, she found a miraculous medicine that could regenerate his limbs.
He thought to himself, "When I get back, I'll lock him up. I'll find him ten or eight daughters from respectable families and marry them all at once. I won't let him out until he has at least a dozen children."
So, upon receiving the scout's rapid report, they immediately led their men over. After all, He Chen, this ruthless killer, had blood on his hands. He was definitely a troublemaker.
However, Prefect Gao had already received news of the events in Wanzhou. Moreover, the fact that the Crimson Flame Demon Sect and the Longevity Sect's protectors had fallen to this young man meant his combat strength was undoubtedly formidable.
However, he was a high-ranking governor, while this young man was merely a minor police chief. He figured the young man wouldn't dare to disobey orders.
At that moment, although he felt an intense urge to tear that boy to pieces, he still thought of his son's life. So he changed his tone.
He thought to himself, "Recruiting this man will surely make him a sharp blade in my hands. Once I've squeezed him dry, I'll leave him without a trace. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
As for the Longevity Cult and the Crimson Flame Cult, they are a bunch of rabble, vermin hiding in the cracks. They only dare to scurry about in this underdeveloped place.
Within the Great Long Prefecture, they merely engaged in petty theft, openly walking about in broad daylight. They only dared to offer sacrifices of blood and flesh in secret. As for the matter of slaying demons and monsters? Naturally, that was left to the demon slayers.
Looking at He Chen's ambiguous smile, a wave of disgust washed over him; he truly wished this man would chop him up with a knife.
He solemnly promised, "As long as you release my son, I will not interfere in your affairs."
Then, with a look of admiration in his eyes, he continued, "This small loess county is naturally not large enough to contain a true dragon like you."
You've come to this Great Long Prefecture. With a population of a million, it's naturally abundant, offering all sorts of miraculous elixirs and stunningly beautiful women—enough to satisfy your every whim.
He Chen listened in silence. He thought to himself, 'This Dalong Prefecture alone has a population of one million. It truly seems incredibly prosperous. I wonder how prosperous other cities with even larger populations must be.'
Seeing He Chen seemingly lost in thought, the Prefect Gao assumed he was moved. He thought to himself, 'What an unsophisticated young man. Though his martial prowess is formidable, he's truly a fine sword!'
What a pity! They didn't even know. In this world, in this martial arts world, it's not just about having superior martial arts skills that allows you to move freely; there's also the complexity of human relationships.
He continued, "If you are willing to join my ranks, I will give you a thousand acres of fertile land, a mansion, ten bottles of miraculous elixirs, and ten beautiful women. These elixirs are extremely rare."
Ordinary people would seek it but not obtain it. You can also choose a treasure-bringing sword from the treasure vault. As for the matter of this thousand-man team, I can also petition my superiors to spare them.
how? '
After the prefect finished speaking, he looked at him with great confidence and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Then the person slowly approached in the air, wanting to quickly bring her son over and give him the best medicine to preserve his vital energy.
After listening to Prefect Gao's remarks, I deeply felt that the strong are the mainstream of this world.
A thousand acres of fertile land—that's a considerable fortune. If one were destitute and powerless, it would be an excellent option.
The other six listened in silence. Among them was a young man who was exceptionally handsome, with bright, sparkling eyes as he looked around.
If you could see through the clothes, you could see the character "一" embroidered on them. This person is a sister from their alliance who came to Wanjian Manor to check on the situation.
They disappeared without a trace. Naturally, a thorough investigation was needed. Through inquiries from various sources, it was learned that the entire Wanjian Manor had most likely been wiped out by He Chen, that murderous star.
She had two lovely, kind, and beautiful sisters who she deeply loved, and who were sure to have died at this person's hands. So, revenge was out of the question.
However, this person is quite capable. Coincidentally, their Qi Alliance knows Prefect Gao, so they want to learn about this person's background through Prefect Gao.
Otherwise, where would so many experts suddenly appear? Cultivating experts is no easy task. And to act so recklessly, breaking the rules and regulations.
How could there be no one behind them? There must be some information they haven't received. Naturally, they need to thoroughly investigate this person's background beforehand.
Only then can we properly consider how to make a choice!
